10:47 pm - angsting about over-eating. (read: i lack self-control)
I ate a TON of food today. I am not kidding. Because I am the type of person who has no self-control when it comes to food, and I can never tell when I am full. Why is that, I wonder? Why oh why can't my stomach judge when it is full? *self-disgust*

my stomach needs to know when enough is enough )

[Addition] It's snowing in Cornell and Chicago. Apparently, it was supposed to snow in Madison today, but the wind inexplicably enough made a little turn and slammed into Chicago instead. Hah. So we'll probably get snow tomorrow or day after tomorrow instead. Except I won't be around to see it. Will be in Chicago (which is already snowing. *unamused*)

current mood: cold

4:16 am - wah
My gosh, I really am masochistic. It is 4:15 am, and I am listening to the Ghost in the Shell soundtrack. Absolutely creepy. Positively spine-chilling, with weird bells sounding forth, and spaced-out notes that sound just a wee bit out of tune...

*shudder*

current mood: creeped-out
current music: Kenji Kawai - Exm Puppetmaster

1:06 am - my thoughts tend to meander a lot, it seems...
Finished watching Animal Diaries with [info]pink_madness today. We have already finished Miman City, Kindaichi (murder cases), and Rookie. Will strive to watch Motokare. Have watched a bit of Gakko Sensei, To Heart and Young Times; have yet to touch Summer Snow and stuff like P.S Genki, but I appear to have gone through much of xuannie-chan's stash already. Remarkable. ^^;;

Note: [info]wing_less should watch Kindaichi. Tsuyoshi is very cute (of course!), and I found it interesting enough that I finished watching everything on my own in two sittings. Lalala...

But on a more serious note, that's not the main thing that happened today. Today, I went to watch a Singapore Arts Festival dance at the Victoria Theatre. And I was rather appalled actually. By the audience, not the performance. So much so that I don't even know where to start.

i crap a lot. i am very sorry. )

current mood: sleepy
current music: lots of kanno yoko. very nice!

7:42 pm - "what name should you have?" - quiz
From [info]kiirei and "Gabrielle". *snigger*

cut for small graphic: what name should you have? - quiz )

It's actually... quite true, when I think about it. Not the sophisticated bit, of course, but the other two. I used to wonder whether I was ambitious, but after a random chat with my senior last weekend, I concluded that I was.

11:11 pm - RL people! please look...
This is very confusing. O.o

Okay, everybody who knows me in RL, please look under the LJ-cut. Thanks. I don't have everyone's phone number, so this is probably the easiest method to reach everyone.

dinner plans )

current mood: desperately lost

9:23 pm - it's the weekend! yeah!
Maybe I am too honest for my own good. Hmm.

basically, am not going for journalism scholarship anymore )

current mood: weekend! yes!!!

9:54 am - new job!
I will be starting work as an intern at Singapore Press Holdings this coming Monday!

continuation. warning: rather dry. )

[Edit] If you want to be on the filter that talks about my subsequent work at SPH, please leave a comment. People whom I have met before in RL are automatically on it, plus [info]audaxfemina, [info]dcal, [info]pastles and [info]ztrin.

8:30 pm - about messaging...
Dear friends,

If you happen to have my MSN or ICQ contact, and I appear to be online, please send a testing message first to say "Hi" or something before you add me to a group conversation.

Because my Mom needs to use my Messengers to chat with my Brother who is Down Under. Thus, what appears to be me may not actually be me.

She has promised that she will tell any friends who message me that it is not actually me, and I believe her totally. But if you add her to a group conversation, I'm afraid she may not know how to exit the group conversation. (she is not very IT-savvy, which can be a blessing or a curse to me, depending on the situation.)

So please send test message first! Thanks!

[Edit] And I will be replying to my comments soon! Thanks for all the comforting advice! I just have a lot of inertia, that's all. But I WILL reply!

9:55 am - joy!
I got the phone call from my civics tutor! I managed to get 4 As for my GCE 'A' Levels! *happy shriek*

Was there thinking "Die. Sure to mess up and get a B in something. No more scholarship then. Worked so hard for nothing. *sob sob*"

But I was so fortunate! *shriek again*

So, the breakdown is:

-A in Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics
-A1 for Chinese (taken last year, so not an issue to worry about)
-A2 for GP (not like i had very high hopes for an A1 anyway, so am happy enough)
-Merit for both Mathematics and Physics 'S' Papers. (not Distinction, but hey, good enough for me too! didn't work for them after all...)

:D

Good luck to everyone else! I'm sure you'll do fine. Honestly and truly. <333

[Edit]

I have such highly intelligent friends. I live in awe of their smartness. It is so utterly cool that they are all so smart. Like, dude, they rulez! (especially referring to those two. you know who you are. *significant look*)

In retrospect, I didn't really do extremely brilliantly. Just okay-ly. My results were okay, I suppose. I shall be content. But meanwhile, I shall worship my very intelligent friends. How can you guys do so well? You are not human! (treat! treat!)

current mood: ecstatic
current music: construction drilling

3:39 pm - quizilla
I like the sigil of the quiz results. Blood-red and that lovely green! With flowers and pentacles! The design appeals to me. :D

quizilla: which zodiac sign are you attracted to? )

I have a THING for the Japanese language. It's like a kink/fetish of mine, or something.

9:49 pm - the rare public post
It is difficult being a student in Singapore. Very difficult. [info]ztrin's recent entry reminded me of the horror of it all.

11:59 pm - CNY babble
Happy Lunar New Year, everyone! To all those going for 拜年 tomorrow, hope you have a nice time!

Just a curious question directed to the people living in countries where the Chinese are not the majority (ie. not China, not Taiwan, not Singapore). Have there been any signs of preparation for this festival over in your countries? (Chinatown doesn't count) Or is it an obscure/alien thing that you don't really know anything about?

I'm kind of hoping [info]dragongirlg can tell me what the situation is like over in USA...

current mood: gong xi fa cai!

9:28 pm - DA GA...
I am absolutely sure my family thinks I'm completely and utterly off my rocker. I have been laughing my ass off, and slapping myself on the chest in agonized hilarity. *chortle*

[info]darcenciel's translation of Gackt's autobiography, Jihaku, has totally made my day. Thanks for sharing, [info]pink_madness! *pimps shamelessly*

LOL!!! )

current mood: ROTFLMAO!
current music: da ga...

8:58 pm - count cain
Count Cain scanslations. Wow. Am feeling the itch to raid [info]wing_less' manga collection now.

Was reminded that I had a 'God Child' shitajiki (squee!) and turned my room upside down trying to find it. Unearthed 2 DNAngel files and the Prince of Tennis shitajiki that [info]wing_less gave me a long time ago, while I was at it.

And J? I am sorry. There's no real excuse... (suffered guilt trip after reading your entry)

1:29 pm - numb
Life works in funny, cruel ways. You think you have it, but at the very last minute, you discover that you don't.

And it's pointless to get depressed because, really, life still goes on, and what's done is done. No amount of tears can change that, so why waste them?

current mood: fatalistic

2:19 pm - magician
Every single time I read Magician by Natalie Baan, I cry. It's the third chapter that always does me in, I suspect. I'm a sucker for death scenes.

It's quite a unique story as fanfiction goes. Very cyberpunk in concept, but based in CLAMP's X/1999 universe. Imonoyama Nokoru and Satsuki are the main characters here.

[info]wing_less! We must watch CLAMP Gakuen Tantei one day! Just for the heck of it. :D

current mood: sniffle

6:13 pm - bored
It's horrifying, but there's actually little to do online anymore! I used to spend the whole day reading fic in the past, but now the fandom seems to be drying up? [info]wing_less and [info]malfoypatriarch would agree, I'm sure.

Anyway, the end result is that [info]wing_less came over, and we had a happy time plonking on my piano. Or rather, I asked her to plonk, and ended up monopolizing it. (oops)

Spent the whole afternoon alternating between my piano and my erhu. There's definitely something to be said for jazz piano. It's strangely cathartic to pound on the keys, especially given the syncopation and heavy chords that jazz tends to employ. Very satisfying. I wonder what the neighbour living below thinks about all those chords crashing down on her though.

11:22 pm - the silence breaks
About the long-anticipated anime marathon that nobody seems to know anything about, because I'm very unhelpful. ^^;; Please read and fill up the necessary details by leaving a comment. Thank you!

stuff you may want to know )

[Edit: I went to Kinokuniya with [info]wing_less today, and the manga section reminded me of additional anime that I have. List has been updated, additions are in italics.]

current mood: chipper
current music: MSN Messenger beeps
